Aside from stating that the GDR is a socialist state of [the] German nation, it emphasises that the realisation of a single German state is only possible under the conditions of socialism. An analysis of the attitudes of Western European states towards the establishment of a European Security System[3] comes to the following conclusions: Basically, all Western European states work on the assumption of the territorial status quo and the effective existence of the GDR; the nuclear limitation treaty[4] has been supported by the majority of these states – partly with some reservations; Bonn's so-called neue Ostpolitik is supported with almost no restrictions; the GDR's recognition as a sovereign German state is rejected by all Western European governments or declared as dependent on steps taken by Bonn; despite the fact that neo-Nazism in Western Germany is rejected, it is denied that it is part of the political system in Western Germany and that there is a connection to the government's policies; particularly in France, [there is a] search for plans for a settlement of European problems (attempt for a compromise between Bonn's Ostpolitik of expansion and status quo!).

[2] During the Grand Coalition between CDU/CSU and SPD from December 1966 to September 1969, CDU Chairman Kurt Georg Kiesinger served as Chancellor of the FRG. Franz Josef Strauss, Chairman of the CSU, Bavaria's conservative party, was Minister of Finance in the Grand Coalition. It is interesting to note that the GDR diplomats did not refer to a CDU-SPD – or Kiesinger/Brandt – coalition but to "the Kiesinger/Strauss government" – thus obviously referring to an established inimical stereotype in communist perception, namely that of right wingers dominating politics in West German governments. [3] Soviet proposals for a European Security Conference date back to 1954, when Foreign Minister Molotov proposed such a conference with the intention of preventing the FRG's integration in the military alliance of the West (through the European Defence Community then under discussion). See Wilfried Loth: Helsinki, 1. August 1975 – Entspannung und Abruestung, Munich 1998, pp. 40ff. In July 1966, in their Bucharest Declaration, the member states of the Warsaw Pact renewed their demand for a convocation of a European Security Conference. The conference – or at least the discussions between the two blocs over the prospect and eventual contents of such an all-European conference – was meant to put pressure on Bonn to recognise the existing territorial status quo in Europe as a result of World War II. Additional Soviet motives behind the Bucharest Appeal lay in trying to reduce US commitment in Europe, in blocking or at least slowing down European integration, and in preventing the FRG from obtaining direct or indirect access to nuclear weapons. The text of the Bucharest Appeal is printed in Europa-Archiv 16 (1966): D 414-424. [4] The Non-Proliferation Treaty – or 'Nichtverbreitungsvertrag'– as it was officially known. It is interesting to note that by referring to a 'Kernwaffensperrvertrag', GDR diplomats adopted an unofficial term that closely resembled the 'Atomwaffensperrvertrag' (Nuclear Shut-out Treaty) introduced by Franz Josef Strauss in West Germany as a campaign slogan (referring to the exclusion of the Germans from technological advancement and power) to further his own aspirations for the Chancellorship. See Oliver Bange: NATO and the Non-Proliferation Treaty: Triangulations between Bonn, Washington and Moscow, in: Andreas Wenger/Christian Nuenlist/Anna Locher (eds): Transforming NATO in the Cold War – Challenges beyond deterrence in the 1960's, London 2007, pp. 162-180; see also the memoirs of Strauss's personal assistant Friedrich Voss, Den Kanzler im Visier – 20 Jahre mit Franz Josef Strauss, Mainz/Munich 1999..

Nicholas Ziegler Revised October 1997 WP# 3880 Sloan School of Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, E52-581 Cambridge, MA 02142-1347 tel. 617-253-3698 fax 617-253-2660 [email protected] The privatization of public service companies offers an excellent case for assessing pressures for institutional convergence versus the staying power of distinctive national economic institutions in the advanced industrial countries. This paper examines the privatization of Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom in order to see whether changes in enterprise ownership reflect a process of convergence in the rules of coiporate governance. While the outward form of privatization in Germany looks quite similar to privatization in Britain and the United States, these two cases show little evidence that the change in ownership is driving any formal changes in corporate governance. If anything, German financial institutions and trade unions continue to exercise distinctive roles that rest on their historical positions in the German economy.

In October 1969, Bonn’s Christian Democrat-led “grand coalition” was replaced by an alliance of Social Democrats (SPD) and Free Democrats (FDP) led by Chancellor Willy Brandt that held a sixteen-seat majority in the West German parliament. Not only were the leaders of the CDU caught by surprise, but so, too, were many in the U.S. government. Presi- dent Richard Nixon had to take back the premature message of congratu- lations extended to Chancellor Kiesinger early on election night. “The worst tragedy,” Henry Kissinger concluded on June 16, 1971, in a con- versation with Nixon, “is that election in ’69. If this National Party, that extreme right wing party, had got three-tenths of one percent more, the Christian Democrats would be in office now.”1 American administrations and their embassy in Bonn had cultivated a close relationship with the leaders of the governing CDU/CSU for many years.

  • Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

  • VI Analyse Der Wiederaufnahme Der Beziehungen
    VI Analyse der Wiederaufnahme der Beziehungen VI.1 Entscheidungsträger VI.1.1 Bundeskanzler Kiesinger 1966 wurde mit Kurt Georg Kiesinger (CDU) als Bundeskanzler und Willy Brandt (SPD) als Außenminister die Große Koalition gebildet. Während ihrer Regierung kam es zu ersten Annäherungen zwischen der Bundesrepublik und Ägypten. Die Sympathien der westdeutschen Regierung für Israel im Juni-Krieg 1967 führte zur Verschlechterung der Beziehungen zwischen der Bundesrepublik und Ägypten. Entscheidungen, die zur Wiederaufnahme der Beziehungen führten, wurden während der Großen Koalition nicht getroffen. Kurt Georg Kiesinger gelang es 1966, sich gegen seine Mitbewerber Schröder, Barzel und Gerstenmaier in der Fraktion als Kanzlerkandidat durchzusetzen654. Konflikte um die damalige Kandidatur für die Erhard Nachfolge hatten das Verhältnis zwischen ihnen belastet, und Rainer Barzel beschuldigte Kiesinger nach seiner Nominierung, daß er sich in das von ihm „gemachte Bett“ gelegt habe. Während der Kanzlerschaft Kiesingers arbeiteten die beiden jedoch eng zusammen655. Kiesinger war Außenpolitiker aus Leidenschaft. 1957 hatte er auf den Posten des Außenministers gehofft, Adenauer hatte sich jedoch für Heinrich v. Brentano entschieden656. Zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit wurde er wegen seiner Nazi- Vergangenheit, zunächst hauptsächlich im Ausland, kritisiert. Kiesinger war nominelles Mitglied der NSDAP und von 1940-1945 in der Rundfunkabteilung des Auswärtigen Amtes tätig gewesen657. Er soll sich aber gegen anti-jüdische Propaganda gestellt und sich für Juden und Gegner des Nazi-Regimes eingesetzt haben658. Seit Beginn seiner Amtszeit tauchten immer wieder Behauptungen auf, die ihn als “Erz-Nazi“ beschuldigten, sich jedoch nach eingehender Untersuchung als wenig plausibel herausstellten659. Erste Schritte in der Ostpolitik lassen sich auf die Regierungszeit Kiesingers zurückverfolgen. Seine Regierungserklärung beinhaltete einen Appell an Aus- 654 Vgl.

  • 1 Introduction
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. What belongs together will now grow together (JK). 2. The well-known statement from Brandt is often wrongly attributed to the speech he gave one day after the fall of the Berlin Wall at the West Berlin City Hall, Rathaus Schöneberg. This error is understandable since it was added later to the publicized version of the speech with the consent of Brandt himself (Rother, 2001, p. 43). By that time it was already a well known phrase since it featured prominently on a SPD poster with a picture of Brandt in front of the partying masses at the Berlin Wall. The original statement was made by Brandt during a radio interview on 10 November for SFP-Mittagecho where he stated: ‘Jetzt sind wir in einer Situation, in der wieder zusammenwächst, was zusammengehört’ (‘Now we are in a situation in which again will grow together what belongs together’). 3. The Treaty of Prague with Czechoslovakia, signed 11 December 1973, finalized the Eastern Treaties. 4. By doing this, I aim to contribute to both theory formation concerning inter- national politics and foreign policy and add to the historiography of the German question and reunification policy. Not only is it important to com- pare theoretical assumptions against empirical data, by making the theoretical assumptions that guide the historical research explicit, other scholars are enabled to better judge the quality of the research. In the words of King et al. (1994, p. 8): ‘If the method and logic of a researcher’s observations and infer- ences are left implicit, the scholarly community has no way of judging the validity of what was done.’ This does not mean that the historical research itself only serves theory formation.

Spillmann und Andreas Wenger ISSN 1423-3894 Forschungsstelle für Sicherheitspolitik und Konfliktanalyse der ETH Zürich PREFACE Détente in Europe and its evolution in the 1960s and 1970s must be understood as a highly complex phenomenon, not unlike the establishment of the Cold War system in the 1940s and 1950s. As new archival material on the period becomes available, we will have to re-think how the “old” Cold War history described the origins and eventual failure of détente in this period of a rapidly changing international system. In the murky waters of the 1960s, the hotspots of the Cold War shifted from the nuclear-fortified post-war boundaries of Europe to peripheral areas and domestic spaces. While power became increasingly multi- dimensional, the management of alliance disputes under conditions of hege- monic decline became an overriding concern.

    In the Shadow of the Family Tree: Narrating Family History in Väterliteratur and the Generationenromane Jennifer S. Cameron Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 2012 Jennifer S. Cameron All rights reserved ABSTRACT In the Shadow of the Family Tree: Narrating Family History in Väterliteratur and the Generationenromane Jennifer S. Cameron While debates over the memory and representation of the National Socialist past have dominated public discourse in Germany over the last forty years, the literary scene has been the site of experimentation with the genre of the autobiography, as authors developed new strategies for exploring their own relationship to the past through narrative. Since the late 1970s, this experimentation has yielded a series of autobiographical novels which focus not only on the authors’ own lives, but on the lives and experiences of their family members, particularly those who lived during the NS era. In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between two waves of this autobiographical writing, the Väterliteratur novels of the late 1970s and 1980s in the BRD, and the current trend of multi-generational family narratives which began in the late 1990s. In a prelude and three chapters, this dissertation traces the trajectory from Väterliteratur to the Generationenromane through readings of Bernward Vesper’s Die Reise (1977), Christoph Meckel’s Suchbild. Über meinen Vater (1980), Ruth Rehmann’s Der Mann auf der Kanzel (1979), Uwe Timm’s Am Beispiel meines Bruders (2003), Stephan Wackwitz’s Ein unsichtbares Land (2003), Monika Maron’s Pawels Briefe (1999), and Barbara Honigmann’s Ein Kapitel aus meinem Leben (2004).
